Visual Management Systems Sponsor International Clay Target Shooting EventThe 2016 England DTL (Down the line) team headed across the water to Banbridge CPC– Northern Ireland for the 82nd ICTSC Home Countries International Tournament. This was for many shooters the start of a DTL extravaganza, following the Home International and British Open many of the competitors would then head to Esker, Eire for the European and World Championships.
The weather at the start of the day for the Home International did its best to spoil the show; target setting took place during some heavy downpours. However, it did not manage to deter the Teams as they set about putting in a sterling performance across the board which led to a clean sweep of victories in the team events. The Senior England Team, captained by Shane Smith had a commanding lead over runners up Northern Ireland. England Senior Squad 1 and Squad 2 had to take part in a team shoot off to decide the AE Browning Challenge Cup for Senior Winning squad – finally this went in favour of England squad 2, Marvin Houghton, Lee Kirby, Michael Turner, Chris Moule and Nick Adam.
